GHETTO CHILD

He's a jungle boy 
Smoking his pain pills
Steadily rolling his blunt 
Jumbo size is his favorite 
Doing whatever makes him happy his priority.

Always smoking 
When he's not, maybe he's 
Asleep, bathing, eating and more
He said smoking is his hobby 
Because it keeps him reasoning not thinking.

Lost his parents at a very tender age 
There was no guidance 
Started living reckless and dangerous 
Never jealous of anyone 
Always zealous in all his endeavors 
Many sees him as a savior 
Because he always savor every moment.
